Comprehensive Plan Website Launched as Information Hub

HASTINGS, Neb. – A website has been launched as an information hub for the City of Hastings’

Comprehensive Plan.

The site will be utilized to announce upcoming opportunities for in-person engagement throughout the community.

The site will also serve as a host for digital engagement tools, including Crowdsource Photography, and Mapping.

The photography feature allows the public to share their views of Hastings, by uploading photos of features and sites in Hastings. The platform allows users to describe the locations where their photos were taken, and what they “like” or “dislike” in the photo.

The mapping feature allows users to add comments to a map, such as pinpointing a favorite park or marking a location where roads need to be improved.

In the future, surveys will be launched to gather more information, and they will be posted on the site as they are launched.

To visit the site and engage in the Comprehensive Plan, visit //cityofhastings.org/compupdate.

CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) began in Adams County in 1992 with a mission to provide trained, court-appointed community volunteers to advocate for a quick, safe, and permanent home for all abused and neglected children. Judges Ott and Bryan had noted the need for this type of program in the area. A separate CASA program began in Clay County in 1995. The Adams County and Clay County programs remained independent from each other until consolidating in 2004. Since 1992, CASA of South Central Nebraska has helped more than 1,500 children in Adams, Clay, Fillmore, Franklin, Nuckolls, and Webster counties. Check out their website for more information.
